Hi Guys,
I re-wrapped my exhaust pipes a little over a year ago. I used a 2" Thermo-Tec wrap that I got from Aircraft Spruce. I finished it up with a sealer coating, which I think was called Hi Tech (aluminum color), which comes in a spray can. Use lots of plastic and masking tape when preping to use the spray to avoid overspray on other parts of the engine. I ended up using 2 rolls of the wrap, discovering that it really took a LOT more length to cover the pipes than what I had cut off from the 1st roll and then tried to use. Bends in the pipes take LOTS of wrap. I made all the wraps continuous from the beginning to the end of each pipe. I could smell the new wrap for about the next 10 hours of running time on the engine, and slowly the smell of the wrap heating up completely dissapeared.

Currently I have 2" Thermo-Tec Generation II part no 11032 installed. It seems to last longer than what I used previously (Thermo-Tec part no 11002).
The last batch of 11002 disintegrated quickly developing a nasty fibrous dust everywhere in the engine compartment. I recommend to spend the few incremental dollars for 'Generation II'. It is available from www.summitracing.com or 1 800 230 3030. I used their recommended length in the installation procedure printed on the package. Read the small print regarding the additional length needed for each bend of the pipe.

The copper-coated upgrade to the wrap sounds like a good idea. The
techie at the Speed Shop says the copper coating eliminates the need
to spray. And it's only $10 more. Sounds like a good idea to me!
Thanks, Roland.

IF you USA owners want to stay legal in the FAA system and change your

is not much more expensive and it will keep your insurance broker happy.

Paul,
The reason for using wrap around the exhaust is to promote and excite the pipes into crackng and producing pin holes. People who drive cars have worked out long ago that it is better to allow the pipes dissapate the heat away from thte pipes. Anything else that is a concern just let me know . I am sure I can help.

Paul,
Check out this site for more info..
http://www.centuryperformance.com/heatwraps.asp
Though I'm not convinced wrapping the pipes is good for the extended life of the pipes, I do think wrap helps to get more of the heat away from (and outside) the engine and other components of the engine. Our Ximango's have tightly cowled engines, and if you are climbing out on a nice hot day in the southwest USA in July, the last thing you really want is to have more heat in the engine compartment.

Hi Guys,
I re-wrapped my exhaust pipes a little over a year ago. I used a 2"
Thermo-Tec wrap that I got from Aircraft Spruce. I finished it up with a
sealer coating, which I think was called Hi Tech (aluminum color), which
comes in a spray can. Use lots of plastic and masking tape when preping to
use the spray to avoid overspray on other parts of the engine. I ended up
using 2 rolls of the wrap, discovering that it really took a LOT more length
to cover the pipes than what I had cut off from the 1st roll and then tried
to use. Bends in the pipes take LOTS of wrap. I made all the wraps
continuous from the beginning to the end of each pipe. I could smell the
new wrap for about the next 10 hours of running time on the engine, and
slowly the smell of the wrap heating up completely dissapeared.

I just got my new exhaust pipes from Ximango.
(Which is pretty good in terms of time, since it's been about a month.)
For those interested: it still has elbows -- not smooth, as someone I think
mentioned. But it's beefier,
I'm told.
I have a question about the wrap. Some wraps have gotten a bad, uh, rap.
Are there certain brands or suppliers you could recommend? And what is the
best width?
thanks in advance for your help.

Paul,
The reason for using wrap around the exhaust is to promote and excite the
pipes into crackng and producing pin holes. People who drive cars have
worked out long ago that it is better to allow the pipes dissapate the heat
away from thte pipes. Anything else that is a concern just let me know . I

Paul,
Check out this site for more info..
http://www.centuryperformance.com/heatwraps.asp
Though I'm not convinced wrapping the pipes is good for the extended life
of the pipes, I do think wrap helps to get more of the heat away from (and
outside) the engine and other components of the engine. Our Ximango's have
tightly cowled engines, and if you are climbing out on a nice hot day in the
southwest USA in July, the last thing you really want is to have more heat
in the engine compartment.

I have written to Aeromot to see if they will consider producing a
letter or a SB on the subject of ceramic coatings in lieu of wrapping.
I sent the letter yesterday, Monday. And I'll let you know when I
hear from them.
